Bishop Wood is an evergreen or semievergreen woody tree with a maximum height of 40 m and diameter of 2.3 m. The relatively short trunk is erect, but branches are low. Though coarse at maturity, the bark is nearly smooth, grayish brown to brown, and 1 cm thick, and contains a red milky sap that becomes a resinous semi-solid when dried. Leaves are trifoliate, rarely palmate, with stalk 8-20 cm in length. Each papery leaflet may be ovate, elliptic, subovate, or elliptic-ovate, 7-15 cm long and 4-8 cm wide, pointed and broadly wedge-shaped to obtuse at base, with two to three teeth per centimeter along the serrated margin. The stalk of the terminal leaflet is 2-5 cm in length, while that of lateral leaflet is 5-20 mm. Small greenish-yellow flowers are borne on dioecious panicles in leaf axils. Appearing in August to October, berry-like fruits are light brown, globular or subglobular, 6-13 mm in diameter, containing oblong seeds 5 mm in length. Flowering : February-May. Bishopwood is used in construction for beams, posts, docks, bridges and decking, and also for flooring, joinery, interior finish, mine props, railway sleepers, furniture, lining, agricultural implements, carving, and pencils. It is a potential source of long fibres for pulp and paper production, and is also suitable for the production of veneer and plywood. It is not a good firewood, but suitable for making charcoal.
